You will be able to enjoy your reMarkable even in the post-Apocalyptic world. A comforting thought.

For the extremely security conscious I guess a physical connection might feel more comforting than wifi as well.
Everybody else uses MTP for file transfers between devices over USB. That's what MTP is designed to do. IP over USB is a strange choice and I fail to see any benefits.
